yes, the rest of the league would lose most of the time. but for a league that's only been in existence for a mere 15 years, to have 4 or 5 teams already able to not only compete with, but beat most mid and all lower level epl teams, which most have been around for at least a century, says alot to the growth of the league. so that leaves only a handful of epl teams that truely are "above" mls teams. that's reality. mls is better than you give it credit for, and getting better every year. epl is in decline. it's only a matter of time before the inevitable changing of the guard.
